9 Border

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

9 Border (2024, Japan)

Director: Momoko Fukuda, Takuya Sakagami & Kana Torii

Writer: Arisa Kaneko

Mini-review:

9 Border doesn't break any new ground, but it goes through the usual tropes and clichés with flair and cleverness. The main character is very relatable, and the show has quite a few interesting conversations and ideas about aging, expectations and life as a whole. The romance storylines are mostly solid too, especially the one focused on the central couple, which is very sweet. I did feel a bit uncomfortable with the way it handles other topics, like cheating or child abandonment, but at least it doesn't devote much time to them. So yeah, not the best drama ever, but it's fun enough and leaves you with a pretty important message.

Bandori x Persona 5 Crossover

Title: RAN IS A WHAT? (Exhibit #1)

aka The members of the Phantom Thieves found out about Ran being a member of Afterglow. Akira was helping out modelling with Ann and the Pastel Palettes. Ryuji, Yusuke and the rest of the thieves without Ran wanted to watch, and Haru as Okumura Foods Sponsor. Coincidentally, Ran was discussing with Hina about a joint concert of Afterglow with Pastel Palettes. They meet and chaos ensues. Moca is there to start drama, Tomoe, Tsugumi, and Himari watch the world implode. Exhibit one on How the Phantom Thieves Found out Ran is a part of Afterglow.

“Did you hear, a band called Afterglow has like the greatest song, try listening to SENSENFUKOKU!” 

“They have guts to create a song, a kind of declaration of war against other bands,”

“The singer is so cool, her vocals are electrifying,” 

“I heard the drummer was a member of the local Taiko Youth player and the older sister of Roselia’s drummer,”

“I followed Afterglow's Bassist on social media, who knew she actually visited many places!”

“Afterglow's pianist is also quite talented, she seemed easygoing,”

“You haven't even hear the guitarist's guitar solos, it's super cool,”

“Aren't you gonna research their names?”

“Oh yea! I forgot about that, how can we call ourselves Afterglow's fans, if we don't know their member’s names!”

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

Afterglow had won the Girls Band Tournament, and had made a name for themselves at the Girls Band Era hall of fame, as Himari would say. Afterglow had joined several joint concerts after winning. Mainly with Roselia and Poppin' Party. Despite diverging aims from both bands, Afterglow produced rock-genre down-to-earth songs. Their popularity sky-rocketed with Hey-day Capriccio being its top most listened song in Spotify.

That's why, at the current time, the members of Afterglow are currently at a meeting with Pastel Palettes’ Agency regarding a joint concert, rather than making a song for them. Afterglow had a discussion from the day before, when Hina-san asked them for a joint concert with Pastel Palettes. They already agreed, just some reservations and adjustments that need to be discussed between Afterglow and the staff.

Tsugumi and Himari did most of the work actually, Ran joined in with Tomoe, and Moca basically just listened. The contract itself was actually nice, a 50/50 that satisfies both. But Ran didn't really care about the money part, she and the rest of Afterglow wanted only to deliver the best concerts they have.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

Takamaki Ann is modelling with the rest of Pastel Palettes. She saw Akira, Yusuke, and Ryuji who were assisting the photographers and staff. While Haru and Futaba watched, with Haru as a representative of Okumura Foods. The Pastel Palettes are actually nice people, a popular Idol band, since currently Girl Bands are viral these days. Ann and the rest of the Pastel Palettes modelled for a new magazine issue. 

Futaba joined in editing, despite being a hacker, her Photoshop skills are good, so they end up making Futaba join, touching up the members via the computer. Ryuji, Yusuke, and Akira did the heavy work, as Haru is discussing with the staff for a business. 

Ann had a good time talking to Maya-san, Aya-san and Hina-san, the two are her age, and they seem fun to talk to. Eve-chan is a great friend and fellow model, liking the culture of Bushido, and Chisato-san is a busy actress but makes time for her bandmates. Overall, their bonds are similar to that of the Phantom thieves, they care for each other no matter what.

“I wonder how Afterglow is doing, I heard them talking with the staff right now regarding the contracts,” Maya-san said to Chisato-san. 

“I hope they're doing alright, the last time we did that, there was a disagreement between Afterglow and the Staff,” Chisato-san nodded. 

“Afterglow?” Ann asked, she remembered that they are now a popular band for winning the Girls Band Tournament. “Is something happening?”

“Yes, Afterglow and Pastel Palettes are planning to do a joint concert,” Chisato-san said, “Afterglow is currently discussing with the staff about it,”

“But it's insane isn't it, within two months of coming back, Afterglow practiced to the limit and fought to win the GBT,” Aya-san said, “They are pretty cool, to be able to win a large Band Tournament,”

“I know right, their sounds are always so boppin’, even Tsugu is cool enough to play the piano,” Hina-san exclaimed, “I can't wait for them to do a Joint Concert with us, it'll be so cool!” 

“Eh?” Ann is confused.

Aya-san chuckled, “Hina-chan is just like that. But yes, we can't wait for the joint concert. Although Hina-san just have to text Ran-chan when it's late,”

“You can't wait after all!” Hina-san exclaimed.

It was then one of the staff came in, “Pastel Palettes, oh Takamaki-san, I apologise for disturbing you, I just want to tell you all the good news, Afterglow will be doing the joint Concert and everything is set. If you want to talk to them, they're at one of the studios, practicing,”

“Afterglow is here?” Eve-san stood up, and another staff came in, “The photoshoot is done, thank you for the hard work,”

Most of the photographers are leaving, with the Pastel Palettes and the Thieves there waiting. Before Hina-san sprung up the idea of “Hey guys, what if we all go to the studio together, bet Afterglow is waiting, and they wouldn't mind more people!”

None of the members had objections, so they chose to join. Deep down the Phantom Thieves are also a fan of Afterglow and Roselia after all. 

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

Afterglow chooses to practice at Pastel Palettes’ Agency's studio. They were all practicing a new song, SWITCH ON NOW. Moca and Ran are both practicing the guitar while Tsugumi, Tomoe, and Himari discuss their parts. Afterglow is steadily improving, they plan to create another set list, and their schedules are full.

It was then they wanted to combine, but Himari thought that for the Joint Concert, they should try Y.O.L.O, so that's what they did now. Singing the full song and perfecting it. After all, the creator of the song knows what the lyrics are about, and Ran was able to deliver it the same as always. Minato-san was right, she did have a passion for singing, in Music. The song ended. Ran chuckled as they all packed their bags to meet up. But a staff member came in, saying that they will do a meeting here instead.

Then out of nowhere, Hina-san comes in, running to Moca, “Moca-chan, that guitar shred is boppin', you have to teach me that!”

“Hina-senpai, this is Moca-chan’s sacred guitar skills. But do not worry, Moca-chan will teach you~,” Moca answered.

The rest of the Pastel Palettes coming with Eve-san bring Takamaki Ann into the room, alongside the rest of the Phantom Thieves. “ANN-SAN?” Ran’s eye widened.

“RAN-CHAN?!?!” Ann exclaimed, didn't see that one coming.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

“I didn't realize you know Pastel Palettes, is there anything we don't know about you? I swear, it's like you're that mysterious girl in our friend group!” Futaba-san exclaimed.

“That's definitely Ran for you~ she'll definitely not say anything~” Moca added, chuckling.

“Moca… !” Ran warned Moca.

Tomoe laughed, “We all know that's true,”

“Ran-chan tends to keep things to herself,” Tsugumi noted.

“But it's alright, Ran loves us after all! Especially when she's being honest, she's super cute!” Himari added.

“Himari, Tomoe, Moca. . .shut up,” Ran said flustered. Of course, Tomoe, Moca, Himari, and Tsugumi just laughed, it was the same as always after all.

“But even with that, we all love Ran~” Himari jokes, and Tsugumi smiles, before looking at Hina-san, who was reading Moca's sheet on YOLO. Ran then sighs, “Now that I think about it, I thought we're here for a meeting. We were waiting for Pastel Palettes for awhile,”

“We are glad that you accepted the joint concert, I hope it's not too much, after all, Afterglow and Pastel Palettes aren't really aligned with themes, I apologise in behalf,” Chisato-san said.

“No need to worry about that,” Tsugumi said, her face looking determined, “We wouldn't mind a challenge after all!”

Ran nodded, “Afterglow will always perform the same as always, no matter what kind of stage we're in,”

“Woah, that's so cool!” Futaba-san exclaimed, “Ran-chan you're so cool!”

“Hah. . .” Ran became flustered, “T-thank you,”

“Ran~! You look cute when your flustered,” Moca teased, “Come on, look at the camera~ Ran~!”

“Moca!!!”

“Ran is super shy and mysterious~” Moca teased, “And she makes beautiful love songs for dear Moca-chan~”

“Heeeh? Is that true?!?!” Ryuji and Tomoe shouted at the same time.

“Yes~yes~, Ran makes beautiful love songs for Moca-chan. Moca-chan wouldn't mind for another wedding~ ne Ran~” Moca lazily said.

“Moca, I'm getting mad, I'm going to hit you,” Ran said, as she folded her hands.

“Heeeh, Ran wants to hit sweet Moca-chan~” Moca said, “Tomo-chin, tasukete~”

“We all know that's not how it's works,” Tomoe said mirthly.

“We should hurry up, Yamabuki Bakery will be closing,” Ran added, “I'm not buying you bread,”

“Heeeh, Ran~!” Moca’s eyes widened dramatically at the words of Ran not buying her bread. Moca's very livelihood. “Yamabuki Bakery is my livelihood, I cannot like without bread~ Yamabuki Bakery’s bread,”

“The you should pack up,” Ran said, “Or you'll not be getting those bread nor am I paying them,”

“Ran~!!!”

Ann and the Phantom Thieves seemed to note that Ran and Moca's relationships was a unique thing. Like two minds and one body, each reading the other’s body language. Even in battle, even Akira-kun/Joker noted that Ran and Moca seemed to support each other no matter what. They are beyond words, it's like they can sense each other's thoughts and pure emotions.

“Are they always like that?” Makoto-senpai asked, Tsugumi seemed to smile, “They are always like that. All of us Afterglow, we all are childhood friends, of course, but Ran and Moca have a unique relationship both onstage and backstage. Their like two bodies and one mind,”

“Even I always wondered how Ran was able to follow Moca's wandering mind and handle Moca. Moca also handles Ran. It's like they're made for each other,” Himari said, as Tomoe nodded and added, “Ran always stays true when there's Moca. Those two are also the most stubborn people,”

Akira-kun nodded as she watched Moca begged Ran to buy her bread from the Yamabuki Bakery. Tsugumi and Himari seemed to laugh, “That's a first,” Himari chuckled. In the end, Ran seemed to waver and sigh. “Looks like it's a queue for me to tell the Agency staff that we're already okay with it, we’ll send the setlist later on,” Himari said as she went to one of the agency staff and proceeded to talk with them.

“We should probably get going also,” Makoto-senpai added, “We have school tomorrow,”

That made most of the thieves except Ran and Moca winced. Himari then came back with the smile, “Looks like we're done! Let's go to Tsugu’s cafe after this, I'd like to try those new sweets!”

“I still miss Tsugumi’s coffee, I would like to bring it home sometimes,” Ran said with a smile.

“Thank you for being such loyal customers,” Tsugumi smiled.

“After we go to the Yamabuki Bakery!” Moca added, before everyone in Afterglow laughed. The members of Afterglow packed up, as did the members of Pastel Palettes discussing things with Afterglow about the songs. The members of Afterglow and also the Phantom Thieves said their goodbyes as they left the agency.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

“I can't believe Ranran is a part of Afterglow!”

“Right? I didn't saw that also, she and Moca, I swear their super mysterious,”

“Now we know, I didn't realize we ended up meeting her and her friends after Ann’s modelling gig with Pastel Palettes,”

“Ran-chan’s voice is like a beautiful art, a melodic evanescence of beauty and skill. I had an inspiration already for my next painting,”

Akira-kun was seen sitting, and he remembered making coffee for Ran. Although she never seems satisfied with it. Now he knows why. He wonders if he can learn from Hazawa-san.

“Akira-kun, are you alright?”

“Just thinking, thank you, Haru,”

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤

“Moca, how many breads are you planning to buy,”

“Just one more!”

“That would be 2000 yen,”

“Moca. . .I'm playing for it,”

“Ran~ thank you~!”

Author's Note: Heya, back again with another Bandori x Persona 5 Crossover content. Fyi, I actually did this with the power of procrastination and no braincells on my side. I am a uni kid, and I still have those braincells and need those for projects, but ANYWAYS, there is some MocaRan content if you squint. This one is kinda inspired by the "Azure Shine Bright" event. Set list? Hmmmmm Afterglow would start with "ON YOUR MARK", then "Easy Come Easy Go," after that it's "SWITCH ON NOW", then we have, "ONE OF US" and last but not least, "Y.O.L.O".

Yes guys, I even think about the setlist. Also, RAN IS BUYING MOCA BREAD IS MY HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY. Thank you for listening to my rants, especially if it's about Bandori x P5. As well as saying, why SENSENFUKOKU, I just like Afterglow declaring war on other girl bands and proceeds to do a band off. Well, Afterglow wins ofc. Dunno if it's Afterglow vs Roselia, or Afterglow vs RAS, I'll make a poll about that. Prolly.

Another thing is that, I still don't know if I should put it on AO3. . .oh well, just uh, liven the comments please? Thanksss

It's for writing purposes, not for argument purposes btw! Anyways, TAKE CARE!

haru x ryuji head canons? rarepair!!

The two of them are the toughest softies in the world. So people aren’t really sure whether they should fear them or if they’re just normal people.

Ryuji literally has no true idea about gardening when Haru brings it up the first few times, but after spending time with her for a while, he sort of learns the basics.

Haru goes with him to work out a lot, surprisingly she puts more effort in than Akira and is hella strong. Ryuji is so proud of her for being able to handle it so well.

Ryuji goes to buy fresh stuff with Haru as much as he can, and he’s not always eating fucking ramen.

Haru actually likes eating big bowls of ramen by herself and Ryuji is surprised that she can really eat all of it by herself. He’s so fucking proud of his girlfriend (x2)
